Man arrested

Sault Police report investigating a Thursday complaint from a woman who claimed to have received dozens of unwanted calls and texts from a man despite a court order prohibiting him from engaging in this activity.

After examining the woman’s evidence, officers visited a downtown business arresting Robert E. Allen, 50, of the Sault for violation of a no contact order.

Allen was booked into the Chippewa County Jail.

Fraud investigation

City police are investigating the unauthorized use of a financial transaction card after a local resident discovered close to $400 had been assessed to an account in September and early October without authorization.

Police do not have any suspects in this matter and have forwarded all of the compiled evidence to the detective bureau for a follow-up investigation.

Larceny of letters

Sault Police are investigating another larceny complaint in the 400 block of W. Spruce where one or more individuals removed letters from the side of a building.

In early October, the letters O, R and T were taken while the latest incident, discovered Thursday morning, involved the disappearance of A, N, W and Y.

The missing letters are valued at $720.

There are no suspects in this incident.

Missing medications

City police are also looking into the reported theft of prescription medications from a residence in the 800 block of Minneapolis.

The owner had multiple theories regarding how the pills could have disappeared including a break-in, despite the fact that there was no damage at the residence.
